Revamped property transformed from motel to Cali-casual digs.

Breakfast is comped. Good morning!

Originally opened as ‘The Airporter’ (for obvious reasons) way back in 1969. And still going strong today.

Microwaves and mini-fridges keep leftovers from going to waste.

Pop into the Panini Lounge for Happy Hour (5pm-7pm) or to catch the game on 55" HDTVs.

Palm trees and pool: that’s all we need. Got ’em.

The vibe is sleek and chic yet warm and welcoming.

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Leisure-chic style’s trendy without being in-your-face about it.

Starbucks aficionados will be relieved to know they can get their fix right onsite at The Bistro.

You know what’s nice to wake up to? Free breakfast, that’s what.

An easy stroll to the ocean. Park the car for free and flip-flop on over.

Low-key home base, perfect for a road trip stopover or beach town getaway. (San Onofre = one of the world’s most epic surf spots.)

Historic digs steps from the beach, shops, restaurants and entertainment.

Perfectly situated within walking distance of shops, eats and the sands.

O.C. superfans rejoice — this spot is a quick drive from *that* Newport Beach. California, here we come.

History buffs will heart the proximity to the Mission San Juan Capistrano ruins (walking distance!).

Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

Cliffside locale means stunning scenery, and the beach & harbor are walkable (free cardio on the way back!).

On the house loaner beach amenities, from towels to toys.

Perfect beach-goer practicality right on the PCH. Capitalize on a Cappy's breakfast with a TidePoole's sandwich for lunch, both are flip-flop distance.

Located within walking distance of Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor.

Beachy color palette adds oceanside relaxation even when you’re indoors.

Directly across the street from the sun and surf of Doheny State Beach.

Relax, early riser. Breakfast’s included.
